[ 386.4 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

[Clark Griswald]

My network is working well, Thank You RMerlin for your work!

I'm backing away slowly to observe.

Network works great here too on alpha 3. on the 5300 and the 68u

 

[maxbraketorque]

Starting to sound tempting to try.

 

[PeterR]

Alpha3 on an AC68U, I can't connect with PPOE on FTTH (timeout waiting for PADO packets).

Reverted to Alpha 1 which I've been running without issues since it was released.

 

[SwampKracker]

Decided to dust off the old RT-AC3100 and give the latest alpha based on the latest GPL a spin. So far, 4 days and zero problems.

Two devices (both) on guest network 1 can no longer discover each other (using SSDP and/or mDNS), unless I enable intranet access...

I vaguely remember there was (is?) a difference between guest network 1 and 2/3, but can’t remember what exactly (which makes it hard to search).

If I’m correct: what was/is that difference?

If i remember correct, It has something to do with guest 1 working with AI-Mesh nodes (Not sure) i do not use guest 1 or mesh nodes

Not sure if it's been resolved but guest network 1 is the only guest network that can be extended from the main router to an Aimesh node and still be isolated. But if you do this, and there's a VPN client connected to your router, guest network 1 stops working.

You've been patiently waiting in the "wings".

Hi all new to this forum but not so new with using this firmware.
Replaced all of our network equipment because af a quarantine (corona :-( )
Replaced my main switch added some extra cat 6 wiring from my switch to the main router.
And replaced my 2 AC86U routers for a AX86S and a AX68U and then i noticed there was no merlin firmware for the AX86S haha.
Bummer because the AX86S is going to be the main router and the AX68U the second node.
Then i noticed this thread and installed the alpha 2 firmware for the AX86U(S) alpha 2.
Till know everything i was used to with my AC86U works as expected also the LAG connection from the router to the TP-Link switch works.
Wil play some more with the firmware and when i run into problems will report.
For now really happy with having this amazing firmware.

Sorry for the off topic post but just want to say it haha
Hope this amazing firmware will never stop being develop.(Maybe ASUS should hire someone lol)

for the brave folks on alpha3, how close do you feel it is to levels of a beta1?

Not close at all, AX source code must be merged first

i see the AX binaries on alpha2

 

[snippem]

i see the AX on alpha2

I do see AX on my laptop and also on every ax capable device running alpha 2.

I"ve gone further back, and deleted the whole discussion sub-topic which was both off-topic and off the rails.

The only missing thing to reach beta stage is getting 45958 GPL archives for the AX models, so they can be brought in sync with the rests. This is currently stalled due to a wifi-related issue with some of these AX models, which has been escalated to Broadcom.

/me bounces up and down waiting for GT-AXE11000.

I normally don't run alpha releases (primarily because Merlin's releases are so solid I rarely feel the need to upgrade), but figured I'd give alpha3 a shot on my RT-AC86U and it has been rock solid since I uploaded it four days ago.

What exactly are the wifi issues? I've had some odd things happen a few times . Like multicast issues and just needing to reboot every couple days when I didn't before
